Yes Lesley, it did look like it had been run over! Dont for the life of me know why he brought it, he will only eat the breast, most of it will be fed to the dog and the bones to the foxes (rolling eyes!)
That swallow is brave! Even the native birds look hacked off, on saying that we have gales again here, so most have gone for cover
I've been in the garden all day - OH even brought my lunch out for me The robins are still flying back and forth getting beaks full of live meal worms
It's been jolly blustery but the back garden's pretty sheltered - I've re-potted lots of plants, including hostas and ferns, and potted on lots of cuttings. Still lots to do to make up for not having done much last autumn, but the garden's beginning to look loved and cared for again.
Now the wind's really picking up so I've tidied up outside and OH has swept the terrace clear of all my compost and grit and I'm going to have a shower before cooking supper.
It'll be a roast chicken with lemon and tarragon, baby new potatoes and asparagus with tarragon hollandaise - please form an orderly queue, people with a bottle of French Sauv Blanc in their hands get to the front
Gardening in Central Norfolk on improved gritty moraine over chalk ... free-draining.
No swallows here, just incessant rain, and it's COLD. So the garden is taking care of itself, and (hopefully) enjoying a drink, while I have a restful afternoon trying to read "Mrs Dalloway" by Virginia Woolf before next week's book club meeting. Only got to page 21 so far because it keeps sending me to sleep...
Since 2019 I've lived in east Clare, in the west of Ireland.
Had a lovely afternoon with my friend. Lunch on the terrace and she helped some in the garden We did do a air amount of sitting with coffee and chatting too It has been such a lovely day - and still is

Many years ago when I walked my Lab x collie we used to see a couple walking a Great Dane and chihuaua.
Lucky you Panda, to see a goldcrest.
They are even smaller than wrens. Must get my eyes tested again

Hi everyone,
Ed got Verdun's joke. Leighton Aspel was the winning jockey. He won last year too.
I saw the first swallow on Wednesday. Although I haven't seen one since. He might have gone back to Africa as it's turned quite cold.

Hello folks.
No swallows here, just incessant rain, and it's COLD. So the garden is taking care of itself, and (hopefully) enjoying a drink, while I have a restful afternoon trying to read "Mrs Dalloway" by Virginia Woolf before next week's book club meeting.

My Agastache Mexicana red fortune has survived a Yorkshire winter and the back up is growing well in the GH.
Well pleased that Anchusa Lodden Royalist has also survived and is re- growing
Dicentra are emerging and delphinium Fidget are romping away as are Barlow fidget black aquilegia
